Meteorite Daytona
Afternoon all,
just been looking around on a few sites and noticed Watchfinder UK has just got this in.... its a white gold Daytona, Meteorite dial with Roman Numerals, 2002 but with no papers for £21k, i thought these dials were pretty rare and big bucks? ive never seen this dial on a Daytona before! |

 I wonder if there were any meteorite watches from Rolex since 2002?

That dial is beautiful indeed! Not common at all; not sure about the price tough. Have any pictures of what is included?

I own Pepsi GMT Meteorite and absolutely love it. BUT, this Daytona in my opinion looks weird, the red hands on white dial just dont look right imho.

I've seen the K serial Daytona 116519 in meteorite, that's circa 2001. The dial is beautiful to look at, but don't count on using it to tell time. Here's my Z serial:

They are rarer for sure but don't seem to sell for much of a premium. You can see that by the pricing vs a standard PM daytona of that era. Great news if you like the meteorite though!

I think their Meteorite dials are absolutely beautiful.
But I always wonder, how they get all the material? Do they own an apartment sized meteorite? Where is the material coming from. |

Can’t say I have seen this variation before, but no expert. It’s definitely different.
You better buy it before John Mayer buys one and it becomes unobtanium. |

Don't wear it when going to Namibia, there's an export ban on bits of the Gibeon meteorite now :-)
